Review List

This review list is provided to inform you about this document in question and assist you in its preparation.  Keep a copy of the transaction so you can send in a second notice.  We recommend you make a phone call, if possible, to the proper location first to find out whether you need to have a bank check instead of a credit card, the correct amount of the total charge, and the proper department to send it to.  On the other hand, if you have time and are not in a hurry, it can be less frustrating and just as effective in the long term, to send out an initial letter and let the bureaucracy grind slowly and respond at its pace.

A marriage license is needed for divorce filings and a host of other matters.  If you do not have one in your safe or home files, you are well advised to get one and put it with your important papers.
